The Boise State football team answered some questions Friday with the release of its depth chart for Thursday’s season opener vs. Ole Miss.
But they also left plenty unanswered.
The Broncos named senior Cleshawn Page the winner of the No. 2 cornerback spot over sophomore Jonathan Moxey and gave Jake Roh the starting spot at tight end over Connor Peters and Alec Dhaenens.
But they named co-winners at both the No. 3 wide receiver and No. 2 running back spots, while also announcing a competition between Mario Yakoo and Archie Lewis for the starting spot at right guard.
